No I believe the “it’s” is correct. It would be just like saying Dreamland’s rightful owner. Where in the sentence Dreamland is replaced with the word it. The owner belongs to it, ” ‘s ” is a show of possession. Been awhile since I’ve been in school ,but I believe it to be correct.

Also, I wonder what’s going through Alex’s mind right now, probably feels awkward having someone willing to risk their life over something you’ve barely even acknowledged. Could it be Alex is going to start taking this thing seriously or notâ€¦!?!?

Did anyone in this story say a word about Alex becoming the next king? I don’t remember… could be a shock for Alex right now. And I’m not sure all those dwarves will follow this sudden change of mind. What about this:

Bognok: “For Hilmdel!” (runs forward)
Dwarves: (stand still, not satisfied with the short explanation)
Bognok: (stops because he doesn’t hear anything from behind, then turns around) “What’s about you? Why don’t you follow me?”
Dwarves: “Care to explain a little more before we fight a dragon?”

Anyone else notice that Alex hasn’t woken up in a while? he usually has a really bad habit of waking up when things get interesting. Im starting to wonder if it just cause of the time distortion between the two worlds or maybe he starting to be come more connected to dreamland.
Anyway, go dwarfs!

Well, it’s not just Alex who has a dilemma. Can the Queen of Elves just stand by while the King of Dwarves leads his subjects into battle against Nicodemus? And is this the right time/place to take on Nicodemus?

If it were as simple as just having all of the dwarves attack, you’d think Nic would have been overthrown long before this. I expect… complications.

I’d like to point out two small grammar mistakes. When King Dwarf says Nick’s “a usurper”, it should be “an usurper”.

Other than that, it’s a little strange that dwarves would accept so easily the fact that a human must rule Dreamland when they don’t know much about them, except for children although they don’t hang around them either. I can understand the blind faith in their leader when they are ordered to attack an usurper, though.

hmmm… I think I’ve figured out what the ‘catch’ at the end of the story is going to be, but I’m not going to say here because I don’t want to ruin it for anyone. Lets just say I think people are jumping to premature conclusions about Alex’s roll in all of this.

It’s not quite clear in the last panel whether the dwarves ARE following Bognok, so I sure hope it’s not going to be one of those sequences in which the one guy charges forward and realizes that the others aren’t following, too confused by the situation to be sure of what to do.

I wouldn’t be surprised (assuming they ARE following) to see Nicodemus perform a Strategic Withdrawal.

Nicodemus would have a problem strategically withdrawing, seeing as he’s surrounded by a horde of angry dwarves. There is little to no chance of escape. I’d say ‘poor Nicodemus!’ but the scaly jerk deserves it.

If you have “it’s” in a sentence, when you replace it with “it is”, if the sentence you get doesn’t make sense anymore (like in this comic as of this post), then it’s a mistake and you should have used “its”.
Grammar is easier for us computer programmers 😉

It’s its.
This is a perfectly valid sentence, could be the answer to the question “Whose monitor is this ?”
For exampe “The book belongs to this guy. Whose book is this ? It’s his.” “The monitor belongs to this computer. Whose monitor is this ? It’s its.”

Haha, I remember last page someone mentioned this “rally to your king” thing and made a joke about not knowing if he meant human or dragon… in the end, it was “TO ME~!!” lol XD

i agree with Haviland, that explanation was a bit short to agree to fight a dragon, king of dreamland… but i guess it depends on how much the dwarfs trust their leader… i think dwarfs are usually quite good with relationship w/in their own clan, in which case just for loyalty + trust sake they may go for it =)

Two things. “It’s” is a contraction of it is. Its is the possessive form of it. If something belongs to “it” than that something is “its” something.
Second thing. Maybe Alex isn’t really destined to be the king of Dreamland. While he has gone there and David hasn’t, David has never dreamed at all. Maybe Nick created a spell that prevents humans with the same names as a previous king from entering Dreamland. Maybe David is the rightful king of Dreamland! Also, wouldn’t it just be funny if Nicole turned out to be the young girl that Felicity was friends with as a child?

I know this is being posted long after this sequence was made, but I don’t understand why Scott couldn’t at least do some quick recolors of some of his repeating dwarves to give at least a semblance of more variety. It’s a cheap trick a lot of RPG games use to “increase” the different monsters in the game, and I don’t see why it couldn’t work here. Of course, I am not familiar with the software he’s using, and maybe a recolor (of hair/beards, I’m thinking here) is actually far more complicated than I’m thinking.

Don’t forget the horde of nightmare beasties outside the mountain, trying to get in. This would be a very opportune moment for them to do so, and turn this into an all-out brawl… (I hope that’s not a spoiler, much as I’d like to see it – I haven’t read any farther than this yet.)
